Transcription

1 2016 Joint Usage/Research Center for Interdisciplinary Large-scale Infrastructures Call for Proposal of Joint Research Projects The Joint Usage/Research Center for Interdisciplinary Large-scale Infrastructures (JHPCN) has been in operation since April 2010, with certification from the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, as a Network-Type Joint Usage/Joint Research Center comprising eight super-computer equipped centers affiliated with Hokkaido, Tohoku, The of Tokyo, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka and Kyushu. The Technology Center at the of Tokyo functions as the core institution of the Center. Since 2013, the JHPCN s centers are responsible for the operation of those joint research resources named the HPCI-JHPCN system as parts the HPCI system provided by the High Performance Computer Infrastructure (HPCI). Applications for research projects that use the HPCI-JHPCN System are now invited via the HPCI online application system and will be selected in line with our reviewing policy (see Section 6, Research Project Reviews ). The Network-Type Research Center aims to contribute to the advancement and permanent development of the academic and research infrastructure of Japan by implementing academic joint-usage/joint-research centers for the following fields: Earth environment, energy, materials, genomic information, web data, academic information, time-series data from the sensor networks, video data, program analysis, and other fields in information technology. Using information infrastructures such as very large-scale computers as well as very large capacity storage and networks, the Center also aims to address challenging problems that are thus far considered extremely difficult to resolve or clarify. This Network-Type Research Center has enrolled leading researchers in the above-mentioned fields and anticipates the development of an innovative research theme through the collaboration among these researchers. These joint research projects (for the fiscal year 2016) will be implemented from April 2016 to March Joint Research Fields This call for joint research projects will adopt interdisciplinary research projects that use very large-scale numerical computation, very large-scale data processing, very large capacity network technology, and very large-scale information systems. Approximately 60* research projects will be adopted. * Total number of research centers used for a research project. (1) Very large-scale numerical computation This includes scientific and technological simulations in scientific/engineering fields such as Earth environment, energy, and materials, as well as modeling, numerical analysis algorithms, visualization techniques, information infrastructure, etc., to support these simulations. (2) Very large-scale data processing This includes processing genomic information, web data (including from Wikipedia, as well as news sites and blogs), academic information contents, time-series data from the sensor networks, high-level multimedia information processing needed for streaming data for video footage, etc., program analysis, access and search, information extraction, statistical and semantic analysis, data-mining, etc. (3) Very large capacity network technology This includes providing control and security of network quality for very large-scale data sharing. Monitoring and management are required for constructing and operating the very large-capacity network, providing assessment and maintenance of the safety of such networks as well as the development of 1

2 various technologies for the support of research. (4) Very large-scale information systems This combines each of the above-mentioned fields, entailing architecture of the exa-scale computer the creation of high-performance computing infrastructure software, managing grids, virtualization technology, cloud computing, etc. Please pay special attention to the following points when applying. 1 We will only be accepting interdisciplinary joint research proposals that will involve cooperation among researchers from a wide range of disciplines. For example, we presume that very large-scale numerical computation will be a cooperative complimentary research format between computer science and computational science. Therefore, we invite joint research projects among researchers solving problems in fields that use computers and those conducting research related to information science, such as on algorithms, modeling, and parallel processing. 2 As long as the conditions in 1 are met, we accept joint research projects that do not use our research resources such as the HPCI-JHPCN System and the other equipment/resources of our centers. 3 Research projects that use computer resources at multiple locations by taking advantage of the features of the Network-Type Center, or projects that will be worked on in conjunction with several researchers belonging to different research centers will be viewed favorably. For example, project structures for consideration may include the following: joint research projects that share computing resources between several researchers involved in widely distributed large-scale information systems; remote visualization and multi-platform implementation of applications; or cooperation between researchers at different research centers in different fields of research such as simulation and visualization. 2. Categories of Joint Research Projects: Under the premise of the interdisciplinary joint research project structure mentioned above, joint research projects to be invited are as follows: (1) General Joint Research Projects (approximately 80% of the total number of accepted projects will be in this category) (2) International Joint Research Projects (approximately 10% of the total number of accepted projects will be in this category) International joint research projects are conducted in conjunction with foreign researchers to address challenging problems that may not be resolved or clarified with only the help of researchers within Japan. For such research projects, there will be a certain amount of subsidies paid to cover travel expenses incurred for holding meetings with foreign joint researchers during the fiscal year of commencement. For details, please contact our office once your research project has been accepted. (3) Industrial Joint Research Project (approximately 10% of the total number of accepted projects will be in this category) Industrial joint research projects are interdisciplinary projects focused on industrial applications. 2
